the problem here, is not Van Dyke, it's the judge and how he decided this case. this was definitely, not justice and if the judge thinks this was justice, then our justice system is corrupt and flawed to the core. this ruling, sends the wrong message to both the cops and to civilians. the can commite manslaughter and get away with 3 to 4 yrs. less with good time off. what a joke.

I think the cop deserved more time but if it gets turned over than all of the other criminals can file for there times to be cut or other people will want all other crimes to be resented

I really hope it over turn being shot 16 times 9 times in the back it's just wrong. the officer was definitely not in danger and was not in fear of his life

If everyone could shoot people they hate or those that they have a conflict with 16 times with 9 shots in the back and ONLY GET 81 months, A lot of people wouldn't have NO PROBLEM SHOOTING UP SOME MFs N DOING THAT 81 MONTHS...u think???

This was a murder that did not have to happen! How many times have we seen them/police shot and not kill. 16 shots was over kill! Race and background to the side wring is wrong and what he did was wrong!

I feel it important that jason VanDyke's sentence reflect the 16 shots he discharged into the body of Laquann McDonald (9 shots in his back). The sentence of "81 months" is a slap on the wrist. He had just arrived on the scene and within a couple seconds of arriving,he fired his weapon into the teen a total of 16 times. He was the only officer on the scene who fired his weapon. The trial showed the troubled teen was walking away from cops, at the time jason van dyke MURDERED him.

yes, we should have waited until next time, when drug influenced knife wielding scum killed someone, he should get a medal and a raise. If it was my neighborhood and police shot young thug, drugged up and threatening people with a large knife, I would have thanked him.

he's a bad cop he's right where he belongs the guy he shot was no good but he didn't deserve what he got and neither did Van Dyke he deserve life in prison I'm making this kid look like a piece of Swiss cheese

Good job. He shot a teenager 16 times, 9 times in the back. A 3.5 year sentence is completely, woefully improper.
